Is that the XBox360 cam MS makes? Does it work well in iChat? How does it compare to the iSight quality and framerate wise? BTW, I like your desk, are you running dual Dell 24"?

yes it is... i don't know how it compares because i use it with my 360 :p

and i've got 20" dualies

I'm re-doing a lot of stuff, including our home theater in the living room. This was more of a "demo", testing out our new projector and trying to find placement for a secondary television (32" flat screen). Good idea for football games and what not.

I show it because I sometimes hook the laptop up in the living room to the multiscreens.

Anyway, on to the main computer desk. I still have some desk mods to install and do some wire management (I got some nice lights to put as accents)

You'll notice at the top of the setup, is a 30" widescreen HD TV. I have my XBox360 hooked up to it and it runs 1080i. But this television is also used as my 4th monitor. Commonly my "media" monitor, for stuff like running shows I have on the computer or movies. For the best quality it's hooked up to my graphics card through DVI and I also use it for playing some games (they look so great on that screen)

Right below you'll see the typical dual screen layout most of you commonly have. These are my two primary monitors, 19" LCDs (All I own is LCDs, it's the way to go) this is where most of my focus is usually.

To the right, is a 20.1" widescreen monitor in portrait mode. Commonly I refer it to my "feed" monitor. It's where news and news feeds are displayed so I can stay up to date on news, tech stuff, etc..

The computer is running dual ATI Graphic Cards, one PCI, one PCIe with the latter being 128mb DDR2 and the first being 64mb of Ram. I don't do a whole lot of gaming so I don't need a lot of power, that's why I have the XBox.

Computer is a dual core 3.19Ghz with 1GB of Ram, TV Tuner card, PCMCIA card reader, and Creative 5.1 HD Surround Sound controller.

This setup does have a true 5.1 surround sound system, however it's just not spaced out, that's all.

You seriously need a new desk D:

Hehe, that really must hurt your neck.....

And having those two other monitors set in like that is just silly.

It's not as deep as it looks. From my chair setting, I can see everything perfectly. No neck hurting. I don't dedicatedly watch stuff when I'm on the computer. But if I put on a movie or play XBox I roll back some so I can take in the HD glory.

Not too much has changed, just updating for the quarter...

Looking good. (Y)

What is the product called? Is it networked?

It has onboard gigabit, wouldn't be much use having a 2TB array with no network connection :p

still the same :)

Why do you keep posting the same pics? :unsure:

img0032ho7.jpg

man, this camera is great! better than my friend's Olympus..

Anyway, from left to right..

My 3 drawer cabinet on lower left is packed with computer stuff, cables, pci cards, etc.

You see my ripper, obviously.

Standard Compaq keyboard, Blue Optical MS mouse, 2 x 17" lcds on my main system, Monster, specs in sig, and Logitech x-530 speakers.

My laptop, as in sig.

My Lexmark Z615 Printer on bottom.

The other LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse, is my test system, when I get in friend's and family computers to fix.

My Dad's system on the far right, couldn't include that in the pic. He's running on a Socket A system, soon to be upgraded to a AM2 system, while i update to C2D. He's also running on a 15" and 17" CRT. The blue Raidmax case is his chasis.

I'm planning to get shelving on the far wall. I'll repost when that gets done in a week.

    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
    • "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
